Tacos are invented
Now that the taco was invented, people could stuff a tortilla with pretty much whatever they wanted. This is important to me because tacos are my favorite food, and if they weren't invented, I would not be able to enjoy my favorite food today. -
Abe Lincoln is born
Abe being born is important to me and the world for the same reason. He abolished slavery. If he hadn't abolished slavery, everyone's lives would be very different then they are today. -
Baseball is Invented
Honestly? Nobody really knows who invented it. People mostly say (this is a myth) that Abner Doubleday invented it, even though he claimed he had nothing to do with baseball. He also highly disliked the game. Their is no evidence that he invented it. This is important to me because if he (or anybody) didn't invent it, I would not be able to watch and play the sport I love. -
Basketball is invented
James Naismith invented it. With basketball being invented, people now had another sport to play and entertain themselves with. If it had not been invented, I would not have a sport to play during the winter, or baseball off-season. -
WWII ends
This was the closest to the world being taken over by the Nazis. This is important to me because I can't imagine what the world would be like today if the Nazis had won -
Jackie Robinson breaks MLB's "color barrier"
This was a key step towards African-Americans gaining more rights. If Robinson hadn't broken the color barrier, I would not have a lot of my favorite baseball players, since a lot of my favorite players are African-American. -
Walt Disney World Opens
Even though I only went once when I was 3, I think of it as my favorite amusement park from the little bits of information I do remember. With it being built, people had another place to entertain themselves with. -
First Iphone is sold
People now have a device to communicate, do research, and entertain themselves. This connects to me because I have an Iphone, and with all the stuff I use it for, I don't know how I would get by without it. -
I start playing baseball
I play for my first rec league team (the Owls). This is important to me because in rec league I improved my skills, so I got better once I got to travel baseball. -
Bryce Harper is Drafted by the Nationals
This is important to me because Harper is my favorite player, and if he was on a different team, he wouldn't be my favorite player.
